Interesting, I was just preparing a patch to fix this (follows)

Oops, sorry, I was mistaken.  The patch I'm preparing is for a different
problem.  I'll look more closely at the bug report but I may need Chris's
help in resolving it.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,

With the upgrade to 2.6.39.2, I cannot copy more than ~1GB of data
over the network before my input devices lock up.
Example:
use scp on tty1 to copy a folder or file larger than 3GB over my
gigabit network and after ~1min the keyboard stops responding.
use cp on tty1 with an nfs-3 share mounted over the same network and
try to copy the same file, same happens

I can hit ctrl+c for about 20-30 sec and eventually get an interrupt
that stops the copying, then the input devices slowly gain control
again. If I do the same on X, there is no chance to get in between and
I have to use SysRq to reboot.

In our bug report at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373109
We did a bisect between 2.6.39.1 and 2.6.39.2 and found the following
patch is causing this problem:

commit 87cc4d1e3e05af38c7c51323a3d86fe2572ab033
Author: Chris Wright <chr...@sous-sol.org>
Date:   Sat May 28 13:15:04 2011 -0500

   intel-iommu: Dont cache iova above 32bit

I will also attach dmesg, current kernel config, and my bisect log (I
put a uname -a into the log after each bisect) plus git bisect log


A 2.3.39.1->2.6.39.2 regression.

And, presumably, a 2.6.39->mainline regression.

That's commit 1c9fc3d11b84fbd0c4f4aa7855702c2a1f098ebb in mainline.
